About the course
Sensor networks are becoming increasingly popular and data from sensors are en essential part of business models. The developments of wireless technologies such as wirelessHART, Bluetooth and ANT+ will drastically increase the use of sensors and their economic value in business decisions.
This course will introduce and discuss security aspects of mobile and wireless sensor networks. It will analyse the potential threats, and discuss security mechanisms in all layers in order to counteract on the threats. Starting from the essentials of information security, the course will use specific scenarios to analyse security in critical infrastructures. With sensors measuring almost everywhere, privacy challenges for both industrial and private data are emerging.
Learning outcomes
Having joined the course, you will have gained an understanding of the state-of-the-art in sensor communication. Through scenarios you will have captured the security challenges, including confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication and non-repudiation.
Based on the OSI Layer you will understand security threats in radio, in the protocols, and in the applications. Examples of countermeasures will help you to define a system with an appropriate security level.
